Patent number: 7710727Abstract: A heat sink assembly for an add-on card includes a heat sink and a clip received in the heat sink. The heat sink includes a supporting plate and a first and a second heat absorbing plates extending downwardly from the supporting plate. The first and second heat absorbing plates sandwich first and second heat conductive plates and the add-on card therebetween. The supporting plate is located over and spaced from the add-on card. The clip includes a resisting member, first and second engaging members and first and second pressing members. The resisting member is received in the heat sink and abuts upwardly against the supporting plate of the heat sink. The first and second engaging members engage with the first and second heat absorbing plates, respectively. The pressing members abut downwardly against a clasp clasping the conductive plates and the add-on card together.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignees: Fu Zhun Precision Industry (Shen Zhen) Co., Ltd., Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jian Liu, Jing Zhang

Patent number: 7688592Abstract: A cooling system for devices having power semiconductors and a method for cooling the device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the cooling system has printed circuit boards arranged on a circuit carrier in plug-in contact strips. The cooling system itself has a cooling plate, which is mounted in a pivotable manner on one of the plug-in contact strips in the region of the power semiconductor component. The cooling plate can be pivoted about an axis in such a way that it assumes a first position, which is pivoted away from the printed circuit board, and a second position, in which the cooling plate bears on the power semiconductor component.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Gerold Gruendler, Juergen Hoegerl, Volker Strutz, Erick Syri

Publication number: 20100053903Abstract: A process for providing a power module substrate. A brazing sheet is temporarily fixed on a surface of a ceramic substrate by surface tension of a volatile organic medium, and a conductive pattern member punched from a base material is temporarily fixed on a surface of the brazing sheet by surface tension. These are heated so as to volatilize the volatile organic medium, and a pressure is applied to the conductive pattern member in its thickness direction. The brazing sheet is then melted to join the conductive pattern member with the surface of the ceramics substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Negishi, Toshiyuki Nagase
